IT'S a Very Bad World.


It's pretty bad world we live in,
although there have been two politi-
cal parties trying to do things for a
great many years. Mr.. St. John,
who was once governor of Kansas,
told the Prohibtionists in Chicago
few days ago, how generally
"cussed" everything is. There are
Anarchists, drunkards, Sabbath
breakers, horse-races, prize fights,
tariffs, free trade, monopohsts,
"blear-eyed BURNERS" with votes
and women withodt votes, diamond
belts given to John l.. Sullivan and
a poor woman fined for hitting Mrs.
Cleveland with a pancake. sand
yet" in spite of all these things,
"the people are asked to perpetuate
the political parties under which
this condition Of things has been
brought about" And all Of it can
be changed if the people will only
put Gen. Fiske in the presidential
chair.
We have heard the same sort of
complaints against the Creators
universe. The clouds obscure the
sun Just when sunshine is needed +;
the frost is delayed when yellow
fever is sweeping hundreds into
hurried graves; the moon shines
only a part of the time; crops fail
for lack of rain; the best of the
earth die and the worst live-a great
aud good statesman is carried away
by disease and St. John is left; cy-
clones destroy lives on land and
storms destroy lives on the sea. 1t
you choose to look at it in that way,
the universe is a siupendous failure.
Some men are Incapable OF seeing
anything but the faults of mankind,
the reformer particularly. Narrow
ness is essential to the intensity
that makes the rampant Ietormer.
In the case of st. John, it is also a
matter of business to hold the Ike
publican party responsible because
John l.. Sullivan was given a dia-
moud belt, because there Is Sunday
baseball aud because people dou'i
like to go to church. But rational
people will be apt to think that
people who are so absurd as st
John are not exactly those into
/ whose hands the reform Of society
should be committed. = M. Sentinel

WASHING TON LETTER.

From our regular correspondent.
AS the time approaches for the
meeting of the National Republican
Committee here in few days, active
movements are being made in Phil
adelphia, Chicago, st. Louis, and
other cities, to capture the National
Convention, each of the aspirants
asserting peculiar claims for the
distinction that will be laid before
the Committee by strong local del,
egations. The advance guard Of
the Chicago and Philadelphia dele
cations are already mere, and quite
as much interest is taken in the
matter as at any similar period in
the history of the party. One thing
is very observable: that these men
refrain from expressing any personal
preference as to candidates, aud are
not marking the boom of any one.
The disposition is everywhere appar-
ent among Republicans, that the
nominee of the convention will be
perfectly satisfactory, and that our
duty is to see that he is elected.
There are 40 quarrels now TO adjust.
United action is the watchword
from one end of the line to the
other, and with this spirit animatlng
our ranks, we can enter the canvass,
whoever may be our standard bearer,
with the utmost assurance of success.
In talking recently with Senator
Spooner, OF Wisconsin, who is not
only one Of the ablest men in Con-
gress, but one of the finest orators
in the country, he said: "Ihis sea.
son will be a fighting one. The
struggle between the two great
political parties will be intense. The
questions that will be at the fore
front are those of the tariff, the
surplus, and finance, which, with the
question Of freedom of the ballot
and honesty Of elections, will make
enough work to occupy all our at
tention." The Senator suggested a
suspicion that the general acquies-
cence of the Democratic leaders in
| Mr.. Clevelaud's denomination may
have been brought about by the
understanding that in due time he
will refuse To run a second time.
There may be a good deal in this
sug gestion, and on no other hypoth-
esis can you account for the sudden
transformation of several very pro IN
ineut Democrats who were planning
severe war on Mr.. Cleveland's al
ministration. As Republican, |
hope there is nothing in the sugges-
ton, and that he will be the regular
! ID democratic nominee.
One would hardly expect it, yet
there are decided differences of per
sonal style among the different sets
of Government clerks. The Treas
ury clerks are the least spruce in
appearance and most spilitless in
manner Of all Government employees
The most independent, uonchalaut
and cosmopolitan are those of the
Interior department, who look and
act as though they were happy aud
prosperous. The Post Office de
partment people are serious folk
and have q crushed aspect. The
building is as still as a cemetery. 4

partment as if he owned it, bu

corridor will be thirteen feet long, five
feet wide and seven feet high. With &C,
commodations for twelve more prisoners
the construction Of a new jail may be

The present cells, which are much
smaller than the new ones, are crowded,
